LGBT therapists in South Bend, IN

I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.

In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.

Hi, I'm Amanda (she/her/hers) I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana, an Integrative Mental Health Practitioner, and Trained in EMDR. In 2018 I graduated with a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Kentucky University.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and families in a variety of settings including: in-home, in-school programs, community mental health, psychiatric inpatient care, group private practice, and therapeutic foster care.

I offer individual and family therapy. I work with clients ages 5 to 65. Tele-health options are available for clients ages 16 +.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience serving the Lafayette and West Lafayette community. My work has spanned a variety of settings, including child and family services, support for individuals experiencing homelessness, and providing therapy to individuals, couples, and children.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a clinical concentration from Purdue University, and my Master of Social Work from the Indiana University School of Social Work. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in supporting some of the most vulnerable populations—through the child welfare system, community mental health, and with university students navigating life transitions.

I’m Lisa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who blends humor, compassion, and curiosity to create a safe space for growth. I serve adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or identity questions. My goal is to help you work with your brain—not against it—so you can dig deeper, embrace self-acceptance, and move toward a more authentic, balanced life.

I have 10+ years of experience doing this work. I'm naturally drawn to people, and bring curiosity regarding your story- diversity of background, personalities, and identities. My special interests include supporting neurodivergence, being queer, going through separations, transitions, and grief- I've worked collaboratively with families, couples, kids, and everybody in between- in schools, in private practice, and a nonprofit I'm passionate about. I'd love to hear your story and empower it.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.

As a Licensed Mental Health Professional, I believe that mental health is a priority when addressing your whole health. I have been practicing since 2016 and have worked with people from various backgrounds, with various concerns. I have experience addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse (perpetrators and victims, as well as families of both), addictions, grief and loss, oppositional and defiant behaviors, compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, and various relational concerns. I work with individuals, as well as families, marriage and/or couples counseling, and the LGBTQ+ community. While working as a mental health clinician, I gained experience working with clients with various mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders, impulse-control disorders, gender identity disorders, and disorders usually first diagnosed in childhood. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Asking for help may be uncomfortable, but sometimes life starts outside of the comfort zone. I want you to know this is very brave of you, and I am glad you are here.
